Micheál Martin wants spectators back for sport in Covid-19 plan 

The Taoiseach said that the Government is 'interested in' allowing small crowds back into sports matches and this will be considered in the Covid medium-term plan due out next week.

The Taoiseach wants to see spectators return to sporting events and is pushing to have this included in next week's Covid plan.

However, Micheál Martin has warned families not to hold Christening and Communion parties that involve numerous households coming together.
